Answers to Your Frequently Asked eBook & eCookbook Questions

An eCookbook is simply a book/cookbook in electronic/digital format (all Simple Nourished Living ebooks/ecookbooks are standard PDF files). They can be used on your computer -OR- on your iPad -OR- on your smart phone.

No special e-reader is required.

They are formatted to print on regular 8.5×11-inch computer paper, so you’re welcome to print copies if you prefer.

Yes. Like many, we also prefer eCookbooks that can be printed.

Because all of our ebooks/ecookbooks on Simple Nourished Living are standard PDF files, we can keep the prices low while providing maximum flexibility for you.

At this time we are not creating our books and cookbooks in printed versions. Digital books don’t have printing, publishing or distribution costs, so we’re able to pass these savings on to you. No strings attached.

We feel our ebooks and ecookbooks are an incredible bargain and offer you the best of both worlds – the convenience of a digital copy (which you can easily take with you wherever you go) and the ability to print any pages or recipes that you’d like to have on paper.

I’m a Weight Watchers Lifetime Member and I take care to provide accurate nutritional information for the recipes I share on Simple Nourished Living and in my eCookbooks. I use MyFitnessPal to determine the nutritional information (calories, carbs, fat, protein, etc.).

I use the Weight Watchers recipe builder to determine the Points value because WW does NOT factor in the calories, sugar, etc., from fruits and veggies with a Points® value of 0. (Blended beverages are the exception.)

I use an old Weight Watchers PointsPlus calculator to determine the PointsPlus.
